Regional Operations Analyst Specialist Job Vacancy
Regional Operations Analyst Specialist Job Vacancy
The NGO Consortium was established in Nairobi in 1999. The Consortium started as a mechanism for international NGOs to coordinate various activities and work together on specific issues. Since then the Consortium has grown as many Somali national NGOs have joined. Members contribute an annual membership fee that is designed to allow all active NGOs to become members. The scale of membership fees is outlined in this document. Funds raised through membership allow the Consortium to employ an Executive Assistant and cover administrative costs. The Consortium currently has 191 listed members. A new method of registration is outlined in this document. Tighter registration is required to ensure that all members respect and reinforce the mandate of the NGO Consortium. The work of the consortium started on an ad hoc basis. As the Consortium strengthened through active participation of members, it became a recognised body within the aid structure that operates in Somalia. The Consortium is represented by a core team of volunteers, led by the Focal Point, supported by two Deputy Focal Points, in Nairobi with regional focal points in Somaliland and Puntland. The original membership criteria and objectives were formulated in 1999 (See Annexe II attached). The NGO SPAS (Security Preparedness and Support) was established in 2004 with financial assistance from the European Commission and administrative support from Care International. The project came into being following the killings of foreign aid workers in Somaliland. The project provides weekly security information to all members, security training and advice as requested by members. In March 2006, a consultant was employed by the NGO Consortium to review the work and growth of the consortium since it’s inception. The consultant, Dorothe Appels worked extensively with national and international ngos, civil society groups and administration representatives in Somaliland, Puntland and South-Central Somalia.

The scale of membership fees is outlined in this document. Funds raised through membership allow the Consortium to employ an Executive Assistant and cover administrative costs. The Consortium currently has 191 listed members. A new method of registration is outlined in this document. Tighter registration is required to ensure that all members respect and reinforce the mandate of the NGO Consortium. The work of the consortium started on an ad hoc basis. As the Consortium strengthened through active participation of members, it became a recognised body within the aid structure that operates in Somalia. The Consortium is represented by a core team of volunteers, led by the Focal Point, supported by two Deputy Focal Points, in Nairobi with regional focal points in Somaliland and Puntland. The original membership criteria and objectives were formulated in 1999 (See Annexe II attached). The NGO SPAS (Security Preparedness and Support) was established in 2004 with financial assistance from the European Commission and administrative support from Care International. The project came into being following the killings of foreign aid workers in Somaliland. The project provides weekly security information to all members, security training and advice as requested by members. In March 2006, a consultant was employed by the NGO Consortium to review the work and growth of the consortium since it’s inception. The consultant, Dorothe Appels worked extensively with national and international ngos, civil society groups and administration representatives in Somaliland, Puntland and South-Central Somalia.

Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) Jobs in Kenya
Elizabeth Glaser contracted HIV in a blood transfusion in 1981 while giving birth to her daughter, Ariel. She and her husband, Paul, later learned that Elizabeth had unknowingly passed the virus on to Ariel through breast milk and that their son, Jake, had contracted the virus in utero.
The Glasers discovered, in the course of trying to treat Ariel, that drug companies and health agencies had no idea that HIV was prevalent among children. The only drugs on the market were for adults — nothing had been tested or approved for children.

Money Or Job Satisfaction?
Money Or Job Satisfaction?
I’m planning to give a talk to a group of graduating college students mid next month. One point I’d like to make is that it’s important to love your work. Nobody should work at a job they hate.
This is common advice, of course, but I also hear people say that it’s okay to work at a crummy job if it’s a stepping stone toward a larger goal
What sort of advice would you offer to a young person just entering the work force? What’s the most important thing to look for in a job? Is money the top priority? Job satisfaction?
Is it better to be in a job you love that barely pays the rent, or to be making a fortune in a job that sucks your soul out and spits it on the floor? How can you tell what you love when you’re just starting out?
Are you working for the money only?

Find Purpose In Life And Your Job Or Career.
Find Purpose In Life And Your Job Or Career.
Ever spend much time thinking about that? What’s your purpose?
What does that have to do with your job search or career? Everything!
Do you find your purpose in your job, or in something outside of your career?
What animates you from day-to-day?
- Advancement in your career?
- More money?
- Ability to have more toys, nicer houses, cars, jewelry, or ‘stuff’?
- Provide better for your family?
- Provide value or serve your customers?
- Be a better spouse, parent, child, friend, or neighbor?
- Have more fun?
- Serving God, or reflecting Him in the culture around you?
- Achieve happiness?
- Gain authority, titles, recognition, or power?
- Become the ‘Best’ at something?
- Live a ‘good’ life?
- ???
There are dozens, or hundreds, or thousands of things that can give someone purpose for their life. Certainly some purposes are more worthy or more noble than others, however, it’s important to know what yours is.
Without purpose you go through the motions each day to do what you think you’re ‘supposed’ to do, but nothing drives you to do or be more or to be enthusiastic about getting out of bed in the morning. Lack of purpose can lead to depression, while having a clear purpose in your life gives you hope and encouragement even when things don’t seem to be working.
Too often I see people who have no idea what their purpose is. They drift from day to day and their priorities change constantly. They feel empty and often try to fill that emptiness with drugs, alcohol, sex, or some other vice. They may even appear ‘successful’ on the outside, however, constantly feel discouraged or aimless on the inside.
People with purpose are more directed in all areas of their life. Even if their purpose has nothing to do with their career, they tend to perform better on the job because they know what it’s all for.
Our culture makes it easy to be distracted from thinking about our purpose.
There are endless ways to fill our time and our minds with other things. TV, Radio, Restaurants, Bars, Work, School, or anything else you can think of. The thought may come to mind that “it might be a good idea to figure this out”, but something else comes up and things get postponed again, and again, and again.
Taking the time to really think through what’s important to you, why you’re here, what you want to accomplish in life, and how do you get there can be an absolutely life altering experience.

Let’s face it, you can often find excellent job leads through a job or career fair. These events attract a large and diverse group of employers who are looking for qualified candidates just like you. So, being the go-getter that you are, you schedule a vacation day in advance (very classy) so that you can attend the job/career fair guilt free. You polish up your shoes, dust off that business suit, brush your teeth, comb your hair, go over a few interview questions in your mind, print up a dozen or so resumes and head to the event. You are prepared, you are confident, and you are going to find that next best job! After all, you don’t call yourself Cory the Career Conqueror for nothing. Imagine your surprise, accompanied by that “I’ve-just-been-punched-in-the-gut” feeling, when the first booth inside the door is YOUR company’s booth staffed by a couple of well known coworkers and a person or two from your Human Resources department. “Why Cory, what are you doing here?” the admin assistant from HR asks, as four pairs of eyes bore into to you like some evil demon guarding the secret passage in the latest Play Station game.Career and job fairs are great, just make sure to learn what companies are going to be represented there, and if yours is, you may want to rethink attending.
